This is a secondary post to accompany one of my earlier ones on public education and administration strategies. Related to previous post about Obama wanting to create an Ed-Tech agency. This official White House website posts a complete outline of Obama's broader plan for American Innovation to build the economy of the 21st century (in the form of an executive summary).      Interesting pyramid figure conceptually charting the projeced impact on innovation for "Sustainable Growth" and quality jobs.

The outline of the 12th Five-Year Plan maps out a visionary blueprint for China's science and technology development. It's viewed by officials as a way to nurture talent in both fields, which will ultimately boost the nation's economy.

This article describes a new website Green America is launching which provides coupons and other green business information to the public. What better way to encourage and "green" lifestyle in a tight economy than with cost saving ways to do it?

This article discusses the changes being implemented into the nonprofit sector in the technology area. New technologies are being used to assist in accomplishing the organization's mission statement as well as using funding to its greatest potential and maximizing funding coming in. "In a release, Kristen Fulks, Blackbaud principal consultant and another co-author of the paper, said that 'We think it is very important to share fundraising technology trends with the nonprofit community, yet the fundamentals familiar to any fundraiser still apply,' she said. 'With the ever-demanding challenges of the economy and other influences, it is even more critical to get donors engaged faster, rather than just using technology for technology's sake.'"

This op-ed claims that the non-profit sector in America distingushes us from other economies. Also, the non-profit sector is the nations largest employer and creates ideal citizens.
